Mediterranean Studies Working Group

August 14, 20139:00 AM – 5:00 PMAdams Hall, Room 202

A planning group for the Mellon Humanities Initiative project in Mediterranean Studies, the Mediterranean Studies Working Group looks at the Mediterranean as a space of complexity, studying the nations and cultures of the Mediterranean from multiple perspectives, including historical, religious, linguistic, cultural, social, political and economic aspects.

The purpose of the Working Group is twofold: practical planning and creative brainstorming. The first day (August 14) is open to all interested faculty, and will serve as a brainstorming session and organizational meeting; on the second day, a steering group of 5-6 people (to be determined on the first day) will meet to establish some priorities for Mediterranean Studies and to develop a coherent schedule for future development. There is a stipend and lunch is included. If you are interested in participating, please let Barbara Weiden Boyd or Davida Gavioli know.

Latin students of every level are invited to join Professor Michael Nerdahl for a weekly reading of Latin, with servings of tea and cookies. Various short excerpts will be chosen ranging from epic poems of antiquity to Medieval satirical comedy. No preparation is expected nor required, readings will be distributed upon arrival. The goal is simply to enjoy snacks and warm drink, to meet fellow Latin lovers, to suffer Michael's endearingly bad jokes, to translate whatever Latin we can, and to discuss its relative merits or lack thereof.
